Abstract: This disclosure is directed to prosthetic heart valves having elongated sealing members. As one example, a prosthetic heart valve comprises an annular frame, a leaflet assembly comprising a plurality of leaflets, and a skirt assembly comprising an inner skirt, an outer skirt, and/or a third skirt. The frame is radially compressible and expandable between a radially compressed state and a radially expanded state and comprises a plurality of apices at an inflow end. The skirt assembly forms a pocket at the inflow end of the frame that creates extra space between the inflow end of the frame and the skirt assembly when the frame is in the radially expanded state. This pocket allows the apices at the inflow end of the frame to move towards an inflow end of the pocket when the frame is radially compressed to the radially compressed state without protruding through the skirt assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to the method of preparing catalyst based on platinum (Pt), with a low Pt content, dispersed on carrier containing graphene quantum dots (Pt/GQDs or Pt/GO-GQDs) used for fuel cell with excellent activity in the electrochemical oxidation reaction of alcohol (for example, methanol, ethanol), applied as an anode catalyst for direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC). At the same time, the invention also refers to the catalyst obtained by this method as an anode catalyst for DAFC.

Abstract: A string light storage container. The string light storage container includes a base. The base defines a cylinder rising upward therefrom. The cylinder is centrally disposed in the base. The cylinder is shaped to receive string lights therearound. A cover is removably securable to the base via a fastener, such that an interior cavity is formed around the cylinder when the cover is engaged with the base.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for data presentation using video. Embodiments commence upon invoking a computer-implemented task to receive a user credential, which credential is used to determine and access one or more initial search corpora. Information in the initial search corpora are analyzed to determine at least one attribute pertaining to the information. The attribute, such as a performance metric or attribute, is used to evaluate various scene conditions comprising one or another forms of decision criteria based on the attribute or performance metric. A scene condition is then used to determine the content of a particular next scene, wherein the content can comprise new information, which in turn is used in evaluation of another scene condition to determine yet another next scene. The process continues iteratively or recursively wherein determining the next scene is based at least in part on the scene condition of another scene.

Abstract: Conventional wireless interface (WiFi) controllers cannot resolve authentication for trusted client devices without calculation from a host processor. Leaving the host processor on or awaking it from a sleep state each time a non-authenticated trusted client device attempts to connect wastes power. A hostless authenticated wake service allows a host controller to enter a sleep state while the WiFi controller responds to multicast domain name service-service discovery (mDNS-SD) queries from trusted client devices. Once a client device is authenticated, the WiFi controller may respond to a trusted client request to awake the host processor for further command processing and service provision. Not only does this approach reduce power consumption by allowing the host processor to remain in the sleep state, it allows trusted client devices to discover its presence while ensuring security.

Abstract: Timing metadata is generated and added to captured video to compensate for synchronization error between video captured concurrently from multiple cameras. A wireless beacon including timer data is transmitted from an access point to each station camera. A radio circuit of the station camera synchronizes to the timer of the access point based on timing information in the wireless beacon. An image processor in each station camera includes an image processor timer separate from the radio circuit timer. During video capture, timing metrics are generated indicating deviation between the image processor timer and the radio circuit timer. The timing metrics are stored as metadata and can be used to compensate for synchronization error in post-processing.

Abstract: A camera is configured with a multi-camera control engine that facilitates the creation and operation of a peer-to-peer camera network including the camera. The multi-camera control engine enables the camera to remotely broadcast its state information with other cameras in the camera network. The remaining cameras, upon receiving a broadcasted state, mimic the broadcasted state. In such a manner, the camera, via the multi-camera control engine, remotely controls other cameras in the camera network.
